Just like Ferrari, Maserati had a rep as a quintessential Italian sports car manufacturer. But unlike Ferrari, its Fiat stablemate, Maserati has been going through a slump for years, with only the gorgeous-yet-dated front-engined Gran Turismo/Grand Cabrio keeping their “sports car” credentials alive. When we stepped into a Maserati showroom last month, we walked out in a few minutes — it felt like travelling back to 2015, because the only model newer than that was the already-aging Levante SUV. So it came as a surprise when Maserati debuted their all-new mid-engined supercar, the Maserati MC20, which comes with petrol, electric and convertible options as well as a shady history even before it hits showrooms.
At the 2017 Chengdu Motor Show in China, Maserati took the wraps off two trims of their smaller sedan, the 2018 Ghibli. Dubbed the GranLusso and GranSport, these two trims of the 2018 Ghibli comes with some gentle updates for the 4-year old model.
Maserati’s GranTurismo has now been soldiering on for 10 years, but the stylish coupe – and cabrio – have now come in for a final round of upgrades to keep the car fresh until an all-new replacement finally arrives over the coming year or two.
The Takata airbag problem plagued most manufacturers and forced them to recall millions of vehicles during 2016. With the airbag-related problem still creating waves, 2017 started off with some more vehicles making a walk back to the dealer.
Maserati, the brand best known for building cars that Ferrari didn’t want, has finally dipped their toes in the hugely-profitable SUV segment. While you may never see a Ferrari SUV, Maserati’s new Levante is as close to that as you may get, assuming you ignore the lack of a V8 option. We got our hands on one during a recent trip to Oman, as they seem oddly hard to come by in Dubai.
Here is a list of recalls that were initiated in the month of June. Be advised that most of these apply to the United States, unless otherwise stated.
Recalling defective vehicles has always been an integral part of automotive manufacturing as the quality and reliability of the product is given prime importance. Looking at last month, the Takata airbag issue is growing into an epidemic, with more companies recalling their vehicles.
Maserati has officially their all-new 2017 Levante SUV, which is set to debut at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.
The Maserati Levante is set to make its full debut at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Based on the recent design patents Maserati have filed, the guys from Top Speed have come up with these renderings to depict what the final production model might look like.
